Manbao and the others had been in the palace for several days, eating the palace food for quite some time, and they especially missed the meals from home.
Tonight's meal was particularly sumptuous, so the three of them ate with extra joy.
Zhou Lichong and the others, who were staying at home, rarely had the chance to eat so many delicious things, so they were very happy too.
After everyone happily finished the meal, they went their separate ways. Zhou Lichong and Zhou Liwei, being older, didn't want to play with the younger ones, so they turned to find Sixth Uncle and the other older kids they grew up with.
Zhou Lixue and the others also didn't enjoy playing with them, so they dragged Bai Shuping back to their small study to play.
Mr. Zhuang and others were also displeased with the children being too loud, so they moved with Old Zhou and others to the main hall, sitting around the stove and chatting.
